Ascending: rising or increasing to higher levels, values, or degrees
Butterflies: The change from caterpillar though to the chrysalis and emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolises significant change in the course of one’s life, personality or way of thinking.
Putting them together brings us on an upwards journey of change and transformation, isn't that what we all strive for?

As I don't own a house or a fireplace for that matter, I won't be roasting any chestnuts on an open fire this holiday season. However, as an apartment dweller in the North East United States, I can be pretty much assured that Jack Frost will be nipping at my nose!

I don't have a ton of time during the week so anything that cuts down the time I spend in the kitchen is pretty much a life saver for me. I've got my eye on some Kitchen Appliances from Best Buy that offer the latest technology and innovations to help me cut down the prep time.Because I am a renter I'm forced to stay with Gas, but wanted to present you with more than just one option.Frigidaire - Gallery 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Electric Convection Induction Range - Model: FGIF3061NF:

(For those of you skeptical about blog reviews, these reviews are from consumers. I personally read reviews across a variety of sites before I purchase anything, especially anything tech or appliance so I'm sure you do too!) a 3-or-4-prong power cord is required and does not come with the unit but can be purchased from Best Buy and the installers are also required to install an anti-tip bracket (they will do so at no additional charge) but if you refuse the installation of the anti-tip bracket it will result in a drop off only delivery only and no connections will be completed.Whirlpool - 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Double Oven Gas Range - Stainless Steel - Model: WGG555S0BS:

But I love just how feature rich the Gas model is so I won't feel like I am sacrificing or giving up features I would like just because I am currently restricted to Gas.Check out Best Buy Holiday Prep to get more ideas!Which of the two would you select for your kitchen butterflies, and tell us why?˙·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•●•٠·˙

Yes!!! In fact... I have one, electric though, and I love it! I wish I had gas, it is the only thing I don't love about my new kitchen, but unfortunately, the entire neighborhood lacks gas lines. I'd recommend it for anyone- even doing everyday dinner is so much simpler.
